He had previously been chief executive officer of Adidas.Escada said it would not fill the post of deputy executive chairman after Woitschatzke leaves.In a statement, Woitschatzke said the restructuring program that he and Escada chairman Wolfgang Ley introduced two years ago “has met with success much earlier than expected.”“Today the company can concentrate fully on its fashion business,” Woitschatzke said.
